SINCE WHEN ARE MUSLIMS "THE ENEMY"?????????? WHETHER SHIA OR SUNNI??????????
The United States INVADED Iraq, UNASKED, ILLEGALLY AND IMMORALLY -- A WAR CRIME BY ANY DEFINITION.
SINCE WHEN WERE THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ, WHATEVER THEIR RELIGION, "THE ENEMY"???????
WHAT THE HECK ARE WE DOING IN IRAQ, ANYWAY????????
BEFORE we illegally and immorally and unasked, invaded and occupied Iraq, SUNNIS AND SHIA LIVED TOGETHER IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOODS, IN HARMONY.
IT IS THE CIA AND BRITISH MI5 that is responsible for much of the mosque bombings and civilian bombings in Iraq -- ON PURPOSE TO FOMENT A CIVIL WAR. "Divide and Conquer", is the idea.
THE BRITISH GENERAL IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, WHO SAYS THEIR PRESENCE IS ONLY MAKING THINGS MUCH WORSE.
I saw on the news yesterday, SYRIA has offered to be a peacekeeper in Iraq -- THEY KNOW THE REGION AND THE CULTURE. But, Syria will only offer its help to Iraq IF AND WHEN THE U.S. LEAVES.

EDDIE, AND ALL TROOPS, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SHOULD LEAVE IRAQ IMMEDIATELY -- TODAY IF POSSIBLE. YOU AND ALL TROOPS SHOULD INSIST ON IT. THERE WAS NEVER, EVER THE SLIGHTEST EXCUSE FOR THE U.S. TO BE IN IRAQ AT ALL. IT WAS ALL ENTIRELY BASED ON LIES BY THE BUSH MIS-ADMINISTRATION, AND NOTHING ELSE. AND NOTHING ELSE BUT PURE LIES.
There NEVER, EVER was a "reason" for the U.S. to INVADE Iraq, a NON-AGGRESSIVE country that POSED NO THREAT WHATSOEVER TO THE U.S.
There NEVER, EVER, is one single solitary reason for the U.S. to OCCUPY Iraq, to STAY -- WHERE IT IS EVERY DAY MAKING THE TRAGIC SITUATION WORSE. The U.S. is COMPLETELY UNABLE TO PROTECT ONE SINGLE LIFE OF ONE IRAQI CITIZEN by being there.

ALL HONOR TO ALL U.S. TROOPS WHO HAVE GONE AWOL AND REFUSED TO DEPLOY TO IRAQ: such as Lt. Ehren Watada and Suzanne Swift. MAY THERE SOON BE MANY, MANY MORE TROOPS WHO FOLLOW THEIR COURAGEOUS EXAMPLE AND HELP TO END THIS SENSELESS WAR THE U.S. SHOULD NEVER HAVE STARTED.
It was NOT the Sunnis or the Shia who started this war!!!!!! NEVER FORGET THAT!!!!!!!!

[Eddie is a soldier evidently in Iraq now, who posted a comment. HE AND ALL SOLDIERS SHOULD REFUSE TO FIGHT FOR BUSH'S LIES THAT HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO BE LIES.]

This article merely ASSUMES that Muslims, Sunnis and Shia are, somehow, to be considered "the Enemy". THE REASON THEY ARE SHOOTING AT US, IS, BECAUSE WE ARE THERE. Just like the British General said. IF WE WERE NOT THERE, THEY WOULD NOT BE SHOOTING AT US. There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO PUT OUR TROOPS IN HARM'S WAY, in Iraq -- or anywhere else outside our borders, for that matter.

THE U.S. GOVT AND BUSH MIS-ADMINISTRATION HAVE SUCKERED US, YES, SUCKERED AMERICAN TROOPS, OUR MEN AND WOMEN, INTO SUPPORTING AN IMPERIALIST WAR FOR OIL THAT IS IN ABSOLUTELY NO-ONE'S INTEREST EXCEPT THE MEGA-RICH OIL BARONS AND THEIR LOBBYISTS.

IF YOU ARE FOR PEACE, YOU MUST BE FOR WITHDRAWING FROM IRAQ IMMEDIATELY. "PEACE" does NOT mean "winning the war -- and THEN peace". THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN -- THAT IS NOT IN THE BUSH MIS-ADMINISTRATION'S PLANS. THEY PLAN FOR PERPETUAL WAR ON THE REST OF THE WORLD, FOR CONTROL OF THE WORLD'S RESOURCES. {Water, etc., as well as oil.}
